578 ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF SYNALLAXIS. [June 20, 
Parrot received dead from Mr. Jamrach the same was found to be 
the case. We must therefore conclude, I think, that, exactly contrary 
to the usual state of the case, it is the female in Paeocephalus ruep- 
pelli (Plate XLII.) that acquires this additional ornamental colour, 
and not the male. 
7. On two apparently new Species of the Genus Synallazis. 
By P. L. Scuarer, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., Secretary to 
the Society. 
[Received June 19, 1882.] 
(Plate XLIII.) 
Messrs. Salvin and Godman have placed in my hands for deter- 
mination some additional specimens of birds of the genus Synal- 
lawis which they have recently received. Amongst these I find two 
examples of species belonging to the section with ten rectrices’ 
apparently undescribed, which, with Messrs. Salvin and Godman’s 
kind permission, I propose to characterize as follows :— 
1. SYNALLAXIS FUSCO-RUFA, sp. nov. (Plate XLIII. fig. 1.) 
Supra fusca, pileo, alis evtus et cauda totarufis ; subtus cinnamomea, 
in ventro medio dilutior, in crisso et hypochondriis in fuscum 
transeuns, subalaribus et remigum marginibus internis pallide 
rufis. Long. tota 6°7, ale 2°2, caude rectr. med. 4, ext. 1°2, 
tarsi 8. 
Obs. Species S. unirufe et S. castanee proxima, sed colore dorsi 
distincta. 
Hab. San Sebastian, Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, alt. 7000 ft. 
(Simons). ‘a 
A single skin of this Synallawis was in Mr. F. A. A. Simons’s last 
collections. It is not quite adult, but, though agreeing well with 
S. unirufa and S§. castanea in form, is evidently distinct, as above 
noted. 
2. SYNALLAXIS GRISEO-MURINA, sp.nov. (Plate XLIII. fig. 2.) 
Supra murino-brunnea, alis interne nigricantibus extus dorso con- 
coloribus ; ciliis oculorum albis; subtus grisea, in medio ventre 
dilutior, in lateribus et crisso fuscescentior ; mento albo, sub- 
alaribus griseis ; rostro nigro, pedibus obscure carneis. Long. 
tota 7, ale 2°5, caude rectr. med. 4°3, ext. 1°4, tarsi 1:0. 
Hab. San Lucas, Ecuador ( Villagomez per C. Buckley). 
Obs. Affinis S. fuliginose et forma omnino congruens, sed dorso 
murino nec rufescente brunneo distinguenda. 
This species is exactly of the same habit as S. fuliginosa of
